IMT Chapter 89: This Life, I Won't Let Him Leave Again!
🕑 Added 2025-08-19 09:40:57 +0000 UTCThe next morning, when Xiao Mo woke up and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Ruxue bustling about in the courtyard.
She wrung out the washed clothes and hung them on the pole one by one.
The sea breeze blew past, gently lifting her silver-white long hair.
She tucked the hair strands behind her ear, droplets of water from the clothes staining her cold white lotus-like arms, like dewdrops soaking white silk.
Looking at the woman's appearance, Xiao Mo felt somewhat dazed for a moment.
It was as if he had returned to that courtyard in Stone Bridge Village again.
As if the old days had never changed.
"Little Mo, you're awake. Wait a moment, Sister will go get hot water from the kitchen for you to wash up."
When Bai Ruxue saw Xiao Mo come out of his room, she quickly put down the clothes and hurried into the kitchen.
Before long, Bai Ruxue came out carrying a water basin, her delicate jade fingers wringing dry a cloth towel, wanting to personally wipe Xiao Mo's face.
"White Sister, I can do it myself."
"It's fine, it's fine, Sister will help you." Bai Ruxue pressed down Xiao Mo's small hands and happily wiped Xiao Mo's cheeks.
Xiao Mo's head was turned this way and that by the face towel.
Bai Ruxue looked at the snake scale pendant around Xiao Mo's neck, her eyes growing even more gentle.
"Alright, that's good. You sit in the courtyard for a bit, Sister will go bring out the hot porridge for you to drink."
After Bai Ruxue helped Xiao Mo wash up, she went into the kitchen again and brought out the cooked hot porridge.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Ruxue had Xiao Mo take her around the village, wanting to meet the aunties who usually took care of Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo naturally didn't refuse.
When the villagers saw Bai Ruxue, they were also quite surprised that such a beautiful woman had come to Huan Fishing Village, and that head of silver-white long hair was especially rare.
Moreover, they felt that this white-haired woman's every movement carried the bearing of a well-bred lady.
To be honest, everyone was still a bit uneasy in their hearts about such a woman staying at Xiao Mo's house but when the village chief said it was fine, everyone stopped saying anything more.
Indeed, their Huan Fishing Village had nothing special, it was just an ordinary small fishing village.
Xiao Mo was also just an ordinary child, so what ulterior motives could someone have in approaching Xiao Mo?
Perhaps she really just wanted to rest here, happened to meet Xiao Mo, felt sorry for him, so decided to stay and take care of him for a while.
However, people who lived long-term in Huan Fishing Village needed to go to the village ancestral hall and offer three incense sticks to show respect for the ancestors of Huan Fishing Village and pray for ancestral protection.
The village chief led Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue into the ancestral hall.
At the very front of the ancestral hall was a scholar dressed in a blue robe.
The scholar held a scroll in one hand and had the other hand behind his back, gazing into the distance.
"Isn't this me?" Xiao Mo was stunned.
He hadn't expected to see his own statue here.
Xiao Mo turned to glance at Bai Ruxue, whose eyes flickered slightly, but in just half a breath's time, Bai Ruxue had calmed her expression.
Bai Ruxue stepped forward, took the incense sticks from Granny Wang's hands, bowed three times, and inserted them into the incense burner at the front.
"Grandfather Village Chief, is this our ancestor?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Yes."
Village Chief Zhao nodded with a smile.
"This is our ancestor, named Xiao Mo, a great sage from three thousand years ago. In the past, our village wasn't called Huan Fishing Village, but Stone Bridge Village.
However, fifteen hundred years ago, when the Qi Kingdom experienced war and chaos, our ancestors came to the seaside to avoid the disaster and established this Huan Fishing Village."
As he spoke, the old village chief patted Xiao Mo's head:
"Moreover, according to legend, the ancestors of Stone Bridge Village were able to safely reach here because they were protected by a silver-white dragon. Originally, the ancestral hall also had a dragon sculpture, but the county magistrate said relations between the human and demon races were becoming increasingly tense, so it had to be temporarily removed."
"I see."
Xiao Mo lowered his head. Hearing that the Qi Kingdom had fallen, he naturally felt some regret but in this world, which dynasty could exist forever?
For the Qi Kingdom's reign to last a thousand years was already extremely remarkable.
After Bai Ruxue finished offering incense and bowing three times, the simple ceremony was complete.
Bai Ruxue and Xiao Mo strolled around the village for a while longer, and when it was near noon, the two finally returned home.
But just as Xiao Mo and his companion were approaching the courtyard.
Xiao Mo saw a woman in a green long dress standing outside the courtyard.
Little Green heard footsteps, turned around, looked at her sister, then at the child her sister was holding by the hand, her expression somewhat complex.
"Sister..." Little Green called softly to Bai Ruxue.
Bai Ruxue smoothed her dress, crouched down, and reached out to pat Xiao Mo's little head, "Little Mo, Sister has something to discuss. Could you go home first and wait for Sister?"
"Mm." Xiao Mo nodded and ran into the house.
Bai Ruxue stood up, walked to Little Green's side, and said calmly, "Let's go somewhere farther to talk."
Bai Ruxue walked toward the seaside, with Little Green following beside her sister.
Half an incense stick's time later, they reached the seaside. Bai Ruxue looked at the boundless ocean, her hands folded in front of her, "Little Green, what is it? Is there something wrong?"
"Sister... the Demon Realm has sent envoys again." Little Green said, looking at her sister's profile.
"What did they say?"
"The envoy said that Sister, being an Immortal realm Demon Empress controlling the North Sea, should act together with them to attack the Myriad Laws Realm.
Furthermore, they also said that if Sister is willing to stand with them, after the Myriad Laws Realm falls, all the territory of the Qi Kingdom from three thousand years ago will belong to Sister, and Sister's domain won't be limited to just the North Sea.
If Sister remains devoted to the human race and betrays the demon race, then they..."
At the end, Little Green lowered her head and said no more.
"If I protect the human race, then I'm a traitor to them, and they'll destroy my North Sea?" Bai Ruxue completed what Little Green was going to say.
"..."
Little Green remained silent.
Silence meant consent.
"I understand the situation. Tell the envoys from the Demon Realm that the North Sea conducts its own affairs and doesn't need their instruction."
Bai Ruxue looked at the calm sea surface and continued speaking.
"I probably won't return to the Dragon Palace recently. Leave all North Sea affairs entirely in your hands. Additionally, help me prepare medicinal materials like Sweet Orchid Grass, Dragon Blood Flower, Abyssal Spirit Pearl, and have the Seven Dragons go to Dragon Abyss, I need to refine a type of pill."
Bai Ruxue handed a list to her sister.
Little Green took it and immediately understood what her sister intended to do.
All these medicinal materials were items for clearing spiritual meridians and strengthening foundation, all to maximize the effectiveness of one particular thing!
Bai Ruxue held the blue glass bottle, facing the sea, the blue-green light of the Dragon Thunder Liquid reflecting on the woman's delicate and exquisite face, "This life, I won't let him leave again!"
